Abstract (en)
A breathing circuit for use in respiratory therapy includes an inspiratory tube and an expiratory tube. The inspiratory tube of the breathing circuit has a smooth bore. The expiratory tube of the breathing circuit is corrugated. Preferably, the expiratory tube is vapor permeable. Using the combination of a smooth bore inspiratory tube with a corrugated expiratory tube has the unexpected result of improving the performance of the breathing circuit and its components.
